CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - PORCH Initiative, a nonprofit, announced it has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the U.S. Bank Foundation.

This includes the PORCH’s Homeowner Mentorship Program, which partners first-time buyers with experienced homeowners and alumni to give guidance and community support.
